Pols react to Snowden on the run

Edward Snowden departed Hong Kong for Moscow on Sunday and may be seeking asylum in Ecuador. Earlier reports had said he would be heading to Cuba and Venezuela. Here's what politicians and pundits are saying about the NSA whistleblower on the run.

McCain said the Snowden incident reminds him of the Cold War days, where evidence points to Snowden being in Russia, but a Russian spokesman denies it. “[Putin] has to understand and we have to be serious that this will affect our relations with Russia in a broad variety of ways. And that does not mean a return to the Cold War, but it means a very realistic approach to our relations with both of those countries,” he said.
